Abstract
The present invention is based on the method of treating a patient suffering from leukemia comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Description
This application is a continuation application of Ser. No. 09/118,247 filed on Jul. 17, 1998, now abandoned, which in turn is a continuation-in-part application of Ser. No. 09/034,581 filed on Mar. 4, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,221,873. The contents of all of the aforementioned application(s) are hereby incorporated by reference.
The prior art has described several compounds that are capable of regulating the cell cycle by virtue of inhibiting cyclin dependent kinases. These compounds include butyrolactone, flavopiridol and 2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-6-benzylamino-9-methylpurine (olomoucin). Olomucin and related compounds have been shown to be inhibitors of cdc2. cdc2 (also known as cdk1) is a catalytic subunit of a family of cyclin dependent kinases that are involved in cell cycle regulation.
These cyclin dependent kinases comprise at least two subunits, namely a catalytic (of which cdc2 is the prototype) and a regulatory (cyclin). The cdk's are regulated by transitory association with a member of the cyclin family: cyclin A (cdc2, cdk2), cyclin B1-B3 (cdc2), cyclin C (cdk8), cycline D1-D3 (cdk2-cdk4-cdk5-ckd6), cyclin E (cdk2), cyclin H (cdk7).
Each of these complexes is involved in a phase of the cellular cycle. cdk activity is regulated by post-translatory modification, by transitory associations with other proteins, and by modifications of their intracellular localization. The cdk regulators comprise activators (cyclins, cdk7/cyclin H, cdc25 phosphateses), the p9CKS and p15cdk-BP sub-units, and the inhibiting proteins (p16INK4A, p15INK4B, p21CiP1, p18, p27KiP1).
There is now considerable support in the literature for the hypothesis that cdk's and their regulatory proteins play a significant role in the development of human tumors. Thus, in numerous tumors a temporal abnormal expression of cyclin-dependent kinases, and a major deregulation of protein inhibitors (mutations, deletions) has been observed.
The invention relates, in part, to the therapeutic uses of the compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine (bohemine) or other one and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
The present invention pertains to a method of treating a patient suffering from leukemia comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine (bohemine) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
A further aspect of the present invention relates to a method of treating a patient suffering from cancer comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine (bohemine) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
In a further embodiment the present invention relates to a method of treating a cancerous or leukemic proliferative disease comprising inhibiting the cdk4 and/or cdk7 enzymes by the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of the compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine (bohemine) or 2-[(1-ethyl-2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-6-benzylamino-9-isopropylpurine (roscovotine) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
In an additional embodiment the present invention relates to a method of inducing cell death in proliferative cells comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine (bohemine) or 2-[(1-ethyl-2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-6-benzylamino-9-isopropylpurine (roscovotine) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
FIG. 1 is a representation of in vivo activities of synthetic CDKI's analyzed on models of P338D8 leukemia (FIGS. 1A-1D) and b16 melanoma (FIGS. 1E-1H).
FIG. 2 shows cdk4 (FIGS. 2A and 2C) and cdk7 (FIGS. 2B and 2D) activities in vitro and in vivo, when treated with Ip (isopentenyladenine), OC (olomoucine), BOH (bohemine), and ROSC (roscovitine).
FIG. 3 shows that CEM cells induce apoptosis following expression to effective synthetic cdkIs. Leukemia cells were cultured with OC derivatives (50 μm) for 8 hours and examined by electron microscopy.
FIG. 4 shows flow cytometric analysis of the DNA content (FL2) versus the cell size (FS) in CEM cells treated/untreated with various cytokinine derivatives (50 μm). The data suggest G1/S block followed by extensive apoptosis in the cases of highly effective cdk inhibitors.
The invention relates to the therapeutic uses of the compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine (bohemine) or other one and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. It has been observed that these compounds are of particular benefit in the treatment of proliferative diseases such as cancers and leukemia's. As described below these have been observed to possess a mechanism of action not previously reported that provides them with particular benefits, for example, they have been shown to inhibit cell proliferation in a manner that does not induce changes in gene transcription i.e. it functions at a level in the cell cycle regulatory control system that does not involve the regulation of gene expression.
The compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine (bohemine) is a potent in vivo inhibitor of cdk2, cdk4 and cdk7, properties that provide significant advantages in that this compound is capable of inhibiting cell proliferation in proliferating tissue and not healthy tissue and furthermore is capable of inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in proliferative cells. In certain embodiments, the proliferative cells may be cancer or leukemic cells. In a preferred embodiments, the cancer or leukemia is p53 independent.
The compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine (bohemine) is particulary advantageous for use in the treatment of unwanted cell proliferation because, in contrast to 2-[(1-ethyl-2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-6-benzylamino-9-isopropylpurine (roscovotine), it does not cause tissue necrosis around the site of injection.

Melting points were determined on a Kofier block and are uncorrected. Evaporations were carried out with a rotary evaporator under water-pump vacuum or rotary oil pump in the case of dimethyl sulfoxide and amines. The ′H NMR spectra (δ, ppm; J, Hz) were measured on Varian VXR-400(400 MHz) or on Varian Unity 200(200 MHz). All spectra were obtained at 25° C. using tetramethylsilane as internal standard. Electron impact mass spectra (m/z, rel. %) were measured on a VG 7070E spectrometer (70 e/V 200° C., direct inlet) or on a Finnigan MAT 90 spectrometer (70 eV, 250° C., direct inlet) or on a Jeol JMS-D100(80 eV, 200° C., direct inlet). High resolution measurements were carried out by the peak-matching method using Ultramarck 1600F(PCR Inc., FL, USA) as a standard. The instrument was tuned to a resolution of 8,000 (10% valley definition). Infrared spectra were recorded on a FTIR Nicolet 205 instrument as KBr disks. Merck silica gel Kieselgel 60 (230-400 mesh) was used for column chromatography. TLC was carried out on Merck DC Alufolien Kieselgel 60 F254 plates.

One of the parameters used as the basis for colorimetric assays is the metabolic activity of viable cells. For example, a microtiter assay which uses the tetrazolium salt 3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; Thiazolyl blue (hereinafter MTT) is now widely used to quantitate cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, for instance, in drug screening programs and in chemosensitivity testing. Because tetrazolium salts are cleaved only by metabolically active cells, these assays detect viable cells exclusively. In the case of the MTT-assay, yellow soluble tetrazolium salt is reduced to colored water-insoluble formazan salt. After it is solubilized, the formazan formed can easily and rapidly be quantified in a conventional ELISA plate reader at 570 nm (maximum absorbance). The quantity of reduced formazan corresponds to number of vital cells in the culture.
The formulation material used in the
in vitro cyctotoxicity/antiproliferative assays: 10% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), 80 mM HCl in physiological saline (0.9%) w/v sodium chloride)
Human T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line CEM, promyelocytic leukemia HL-60, human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7, cervical carcinoma cells HELA, mouse fibroblasts NIH3T3, mouse immortalized bone marrow macrophages B2.4 and B10A.4, P388D1 and L1210 leukemias, B16 and B16F10 melanoma were used for routine screening of compounds. The cells were maintained in Nunc/Corning 80 cm2 plastic tissue culture flasks and cultured in cell culture medium (DMEM with 5 g/l glucose, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 10% fetal calf serum and sodium bicarbonate). The compound roscovotine 2-[(1-ethyl-2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-6-benzylamino-9-isopropylpurine was prepared as described in WO97/20842. The compound 2-[(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino-9-isopropylpurine prepared as described above, is referred to herein as bohemine.
The cell suspensions that were prepared and diluted according to the particular cell type and the expected target cell density (2,500-30,000 cells per well based on cell growth characteristics) were added by pipet (80 μl) into 96 well microtiter plates. Inoculates were allowed a preincubation period of 24 hours at 37° C. and 5% CO2 for stabilization. Four-fold dilutions of the intended test concentration were added at time zero in 20 μl aliquots to the microtiter plate wells. Usually, test compound were evaluated at six 4-fold dilutions. In routine testing, the highest well concentration were 266.7 μM, but it can be modified dependent on the agent. All drug concentrations were examined in duplicate. Incubations of cells with test compounds lasted for 72 hours at 37° C., in 5% CO2 atmosphere and 100% humidity. At the end of incubation period, the cells were assayed by using the MTT. Ten microliters of the MTT stock solution were pipeted into each well and incubated further for 1-4 hours. After this incubation period, formazan was solubilized by addition of 100 μl/well of 10% SDS in water (pH=5.5) followed by further incubation at 37° C. overnight. The optical density (OD) was measured at 540 nm with the Labsystem iEMS Reader MF (UK). The tumor cell survival (TCS) was calculated using the following equation: TCS=(ODdrug exposed well/mean ODcontrol wells)×100%. The TCS50 value, the drug concentration lethal to 50% of the tumor cells, was calculated from the obtained dose response curves.
In vitro Cytotoxic Activity of Bohemine
To evaluate anti-cancer activity of IP, OC, BOH and ROSCa, toxicities of these compounds were tested on panel of cell lines of different histogenetic and species origin (Table 1).

Equal activities were found in all tumor cell lines tested, however, the non-malignant cell, e.g. NIH3T3 fibroblasts and normal human lymphocytes, were resistant to synthetic CDKI induced toxicity. As demonstrated in Table 1, IP did not show significant toxicity, OC was moderately effective, while BOH and ROSC killed tumor cells in concentrations close to 10-20 μM.
To analyze the effects of cytokinine derivatives on growth of transplanted tumors, the models of intraperitoneally transplanted P388D1 leukemia (4×1 mg/day i.p.) and subcutaneously innoculated B16 melanoma were applied.
The formulation material used in the
in vivo anti-cancer activity assays: water insoluble compounds: 50% DMSO, 10 mM HCl in saline.
Mouse Melanoma B16
Mouse melanoma cells B16 were grown in DMEM with 5 g/l glucose, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 10% fetal calf serum and sodium bicarbonate up to 80% confluency. Cells were trypsinized, washed in PBS and suspended in PBS with 0.5% bovine serum albumin. 0.5 miilion cells from this suspension was applied subcutaneously to C57BL-10 mice. One day later, animals were treated with vehicle or indicated compounds: isopentenyladenine (IP), olomoucine (OC), bohemine (BOH), roscovitine (ROSC). The compounds (1 mg) were applied subcutaneously 4× daily, for 7 days. Medium survival time (MST) was evaluated in all experimental groups as indicated in FIG. 1.
Murine Leukemia P388D1
Mouse P388D1 leukemia was grown in DEM with 5 g/l glucose, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 10% fetal calf serum and sodium bicarbonate up to 80% confluency. Cells were scraped, washed in PBS and suspended in PBS with 0.5% bovine serum albumin. 0.5 million cells from this suspension was applied intraperitoneally to DBA-2 mice. One day later, animals were treated with vehicle or indicated compounds: isopentenyladenine (IP), olomoucine (OC), bohemine (BOH), roscovitine (ROSC). The compounds (1 mg) were applied subcutaneously 4× daily, for 7 days. Survival (%) was evaluated in all experimental groups as indicated in FIG. 1.
In contrast to in vitro assays, only olomoucine and bohemine showed significant in vivo activity in both mouse P388D1 leukemia and B16 melanoma models (FIG. 1). Isopentenyladenine showed no activity and toxicity in vivo, while roscovitine was inactive and, moreover, its application resulted in induction of deep skin/peritoneal necrotic lesions after subcutaneous/intraperitoneal application. These results indicate that enzyme inhibitory activity and in vitro cytotoxicity of CDKIs does not automatically predict anti-cancer activity.
Cyclin dependent kinases require association with cyclin and phosphorylation on Thr 160/161 for they activity. Cdk 7 was previously identified as an enzyme necessary for this activating phosphorylation. Initial studies on olomoucine derived synthetic CDKIs showed that these compounds inhibit cell cycle progression in late GI phase. Since the activation of cdk4/cdk6 kinases is required for cancer cells to pass the G1 restriction point, we have examined the ability of our compounds to inhibit cdk4 kinase under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. In agreement with previous observations, cdk4 was not inhibited with olomoucine derivatives in vitro (IC50>250 μM) (see Table 2 of WO97/20842), while the activity of cdk4 immunoprecipitated from the cells treated with the same substances was rapidly decreased. One of the possible explanations was that cytokinine derived CDKIs down regulate the activity of cdk7 and thus protect cdk4 from activating phosphorylation on Thr161. It is described here for the first time that the compound 2-([(3-hydroxypropyl)amino]-6-benzylamino)-9-isopropylpurine is a poten* inhibitor of cdk7 under both in vitro and in vivo conditions where cdk4 inhibition is also observed. This family of compounds can, thus, be used generally for the treatment of tumors with increased activity of cdk7 and/or cdk4.
Baculovirus encoded human cdc2 and cyclin B1, (kind gift of Dr. David Lane) were expressed in Sf9 cells as described elsewhere. Glutathione S-transferase-carboxy terminal retinoblastoma protein (GST-Rb) containing multiple phosphorylation sites for cdk2 and cdk4 (kind gift of Dr. Jiri Bartek) was expressed in E. coli and affinity purified.
For cdk7 activity studies, cdc2/cyclin B1 complex was used as a substrate. Its autocatalytic activity was inhibited by covalent binding of ATP analog 5-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine (FSBA) to ATP binding site of the kinase. Briefly, 200 μl of baculovirus lysate containing co-expressed cdc2/cyclin B1 were diluted with 1800 μl of 50 NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mg/ml ovalbumin, 10% DMSO, 50 mM potassium-HEPES buffer with protease inhibitors, 200 μl of DMSO containing 20 mM FSBA were added, and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Following the incubation period, the mixture quenched by micro-dialysis against EB buffer (15 mM of MgCl2, 20 mM of potassium EGTA, 10 mM of dithiothreitol, 80 mmol of glycerol-2-phosphate, pH 7.3, 1 mM of sodium vanadate, 1 mM of NaF, 1 mM of phenylphosphate, 10 μg/ml of leupeptin, 10 μg/ml of aprotinin, 10 μg/ml of soybean trypsin inhibitor, 100 μmol of benzamide) overnight at room 4° C. The solution of inactive cdc2/cyclin B1 was concentrated to final volume of 200 μl by ultrafiltration and stored at −80° C. until used.
Cdk4 protein was immunoprecipitated from log phase growing cells using the anti-cdk4 monoclonal antibody and Protein-G Sepharose as described elsewhere with only one modification, e.g. two final washes were done in the kinase buffer (60 mmol of glycerol-2-phosphate, 15 mmol of p-nitrophenyl phosphate, 125 mmol of MOPS, pH 7.2, 5 mmol of EGTA, 15 mmol of EGTA, 15 mmol of MgCl2, 1 mmol of dithiothreitol, 1 mmol of sodium vanadate, 1 mM of NaF, 1 mmol of phenyl phosphate, 10 μg/ml of leupeptin, 10 μg/ml of aprotinin, 10 μg/ml of soybean trypsin inhibitor, 100 μmol of benzamide) instead of RIPA buffer. Following the final wash, immunoprecipitated cdk4 protein equivalent to 106 cells in kinase buffer was mixtured on ice with 1 μl (10 mg/ml) Rb-GST protein, 15 μmol/γ-32P/ATP (3000 μCi/mmol, 1 mCi/ml), 0.3 μl of DMSO or DMSO solubilized tested compounds at appropriate concentrations in total volume of 30 μl. Kinase reaction was performed at 30° C. for 15 minutes and it was interrupted by addition of 7 μl of 5×SDS-PAGE sample buffer. Aliquots of these samples (25 μl) were electrophoresed in 10% polyacrylamide gels, autoradiographed and quantified by densitometry.
Cdk7 protein was immunoprecipitated from log phase growing CEM cells using the anti-cdk7 monoclonal antibody and Protein-G Sepharose as described elsewhere, with only one modification, e.g. two final washes were done in the EB buffer instead of RIPA buffer. Following the final wash, immunoprecipitated cdk7 protein equivalent to 106 cells was mixtured on ice with 10 μl of FSBA inactivated cdc2/cyclin B1 complex as a substrate, 3 μl of 1M MgCl2, 15 μmol/γ-32P/ATP (3000 μCi/mmol, 1 mCi/ml), and 1 μl DMSO and/or DMSO solutions of tested compounds at appropriate concentrations respectively in total volume of 100 μl of EB buffer. This reaction mixture was incubated at 30° C. and reaction was quenched after 30 minutes by addition of 20 μl 5× SDS-PAGE sample buffer. 25 μl aliquots of the samples were electrophoresed in 12% polyacrylamide gels, autoradiographed and quantified by densitometry.
The results demonstrate that cytokinine derivatives were found to inhibit cdk4 activity in vivo, while the same compounds were entirely ineffective under in vitro conditions. This observation could be explained by dysregulation of Try15 dephosphorylation process and cdc25 phosphatase activity. The inhibition of cdk7 is responsible for decrease in cdk4 activity in vivo. This is the first demonstration of ability of OC derived synthetic CDKIs to inhibit cdk7 kinase under both in vitro and in vivo conditions.
Cells (1×106/ml) were cultured in 6-well plates with or without 70 μM concentration of test compound at 37° C. and 5% CO2 for 3-24 hours. Following incubation, cells were pelleted, washed in Hank's buffered salt solution and fixed in 96% ethanol overnight at −20° C. Low molecular weight apoptotic DNA was extracted in citrate buffer. RNA was cleaved using RNAse (50 mg/ml). DNA was stained by ethidium bromide, and cells were analysed in FACS using a 488 nm single beam laser (Coulter).
Phase contrast microscopy and follow-up electron microscopy confirmed that apoptosis had occurred (see FIG. 3 for electron micrograph of olomucine, roscovotine and bohemin treated cells). Flow cytometric analysis of DNA content in CEM cells showed similar results. Extensive apoptosis was noted in roscovotine and bohemin treated cells (FIG. 4).
